Like everyone else in your camp, she responds well to being flirted with and agreeing with her views on the world. You can get approval from her by telling people to keep the faith and all will be well, doing good deeds for people, donating to the Chantry, and overall making the “nice” decisions. She’s very into the Chantry, stories, and love. If you’re playing a pretty evil Warden, you may want to leave her at Camp most of the time and rely on dialog or gifts. She rolls better with Wardens who are at the very least neutral if not good. Leliana is a “Girl Scout” at heart and approves of good deeds over mercenary ones. She’ll often have something to say, and will even adopt a Nug named Shmooples in a side quest at Orzamarr. Spend a lot of time talking to her in camp and click on her when you go into a new area of the world.

They don’t like you messing with them, and some will hit you with massive negative approval when you break it off. If you’re a male Warden who is in it for the fun you can always romance Morrigan and / or Zevran first as you work on Leliana then decide which one you want to stick with once their approval gets high enough (if you want to have your Warden with either one.) If you’re playing a bi female you can romance Zev or Alistair for awhile and do the same. She’s also the most difficult of the four to actually consummate the romance, so you’ll have to be more patient with her than with the others.

Leliana is bisexual so you can romance her as either a male or a female Warden. The unique gifts (Andraste’s Grace flower and the Cute Nug) seemed to boost approval much more on the console than they do on the PC. This is for the PC version, but it should get you close on console, as well.

The approval rates vary slightly from the PC. Note: I had an opportunity to play on the PS3 recently. Obviously this post contains information about Leliana, so if you don’t want spoilers, please do not read any more. There are posts for other characters as well.
